Rosfinmonitoring took part in the FATF Working group meetings and Plenary session, which were held on June 22-26, 2009 in Lyon, France.

The interagency delegation, which comprised representatives of Rosfinmonitoring, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was led by the Head of Rosfinmonitoring Yury Chikhanchin.

The following key issues were discussed in the framework of the meetings:
1. Enhancing international AML/CFT cooperation in order to identify non-cooperative/ high risks jurisdictions;

2. Interim FATF report to the G20 on the consequences of the global financial and economic crisis for AML/CFT;

3. Global threat assessment of trends and typologies of money laundering and terrorist financing.

During the forum the Russian delegation consecutively supported the efforts and progress made by the member-states of the Eurasian Group on combating money laundering and financing of terrorism (EAG), whose member and key donor since 2004 is the Russian Federation.

In its public statement the FATF noted recent progress made by Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan in restoring and building respectively national AML/CFT systems based on adoption in these jurisdictions of the AML/CFT laws. The FATF has recommended that Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan continue working closely with the EAG in order to bring their systems into compliance with the international standards.
